Fun for the Group

Rotary Camp completed a 3.5 million dollar capital campaign in 2013 in which many of camps outdated buildings were renovated or rebuilt. The buildings are beautiful and would make a perfect retreat for any group looking for space. Camp is located on six beautiful acres, overlooking scenic Rex Lake. All of our facilities are fully winterized allowing us to accommodate your group at any time.

Rennick and Dee Andreoli Recreation and Resource Center

A gorgeous 2 story recreation and resource center, fireplaces included, is the perfect meeting place for any group. Completed in 2013, this building contains a large group activity room, conference room, nurse’s lodge, nature center, sensory room and plenty of open space to meet any of your needs.

Hez Simmons Lodge

Includes a full kitchen, dining hall, bathrooms and overlooks the lakefront. This area can accommodate up to 100 people. Also in this building on the lower level, is an Arts and Crafts Room.

Cabins

Seven cabins, newly renovated in 2012 include central air and heat. They comfortably sleep up to 12 people in each cabin and are just steps away from the bath house. There is a separate area in the back of the cabin that is used in the summers for the counselor area. All of our facilities are accessible to meet everyone’s needs.

Pavilion, Waterfront and Fire Circle

An outdoor pavilion sits directly next to the waterfront and is a beautiful place for any picnic on nice sunny days.

In warmer months, the swim area and beach are open which include a water trampoline and four way teeter-totter that are sure to be a hit with the kids young and old. If given notice, Rotary Camp can provide a lifeguard. Also available are 2 pontoon boats and several canoes and kayaks in which your group can explore the Portage Lakes. The Fire Circle, which also overlooks Rex Lake is a fun gathering location for any group event.

Bath House

A new bath house, completed in 2010, has a women's side and a men's side. Each area contains 5 toilets and 4 private showers. This area is fully accessible. Who says you can't stay clean while camping:)
